Yeah cheers. I've got obviously quite a lot to go through and put in. Someone might be looking at doing a new format for the reviews so it looks better so i'll have to wait to see how that goes.
I probably will take a day off at some point to put everything together for the first book, quite a lot to do but it should be good. A lot of reviews already for the other books, more the merrier though
If the late-reviewers fail to deliver and leave 'orphaned' games, then I might like to take on a couple more (assuming I actually know the games).
I share uglifruit's thought here. Are there many reviews promised but not deliverered? Can you post a list of games that have either had no offers to review or have not yet been written?
Any games without a name against them in bold are still to be done.
Theres only about 26 so if anyone can take those up it'll be great.
I've been busy with my normal job (working easter weekend, working last night till 11pm and other nights) so its been a bit hectic but i'm going to take a day or two off soon (now that i'm full time and not a contractor) and collate all the reviews.
I've got a ton of emails to go through to put into the main document and then to add screenshots. I want to get that done very soon but its just been hectic for me. Once i get the final 26 I need to check through my emails to see what reviews i'm still waiting for from people who promised them (Dont think theres that many), then once i have them all I'll then paypal all the people and also note the amount raised for charity (some people said to do that instead).
Really want to get the first book out though as i think it'll lead to more people wanting to do reviews for the others once they see the first one i hope

I've sent you Rox 3. Did you say that you would be using Andrew's Urban Upstart?
Has everyone listed on the website sent their reviews for the first volume?
About 85% of people have sent in their reviews so far, i have to go through all the ones i've received (got a ton of email) and then find out the ones i have to ask again for !
I think its looking good for the first one as i've been sent a ton though so i hope it wont be too long compiling it altogether.
If my other activities don't remove all my time today I'll try and post you the "Herberts Dummy Run" review I promised you last week :D
Sorry I know it's the wrong set of years but hopefully like I said a while ago by the time you're done with 82-84, I'll have sent you all my promised goodies, and won't be one of these stragglers :p
Allocated Urban Upstart to A.Rollings and Rox to Jumping stack.
I'm away this weekend but next week i'll carry on putting all the reviews i've got together. A few people i've emailed to chase up as theyve promised reviews but nothing so far.
Want to finish the first book in the next week or two for sure now.
interestingly, I've just noticed it's in the 1983 and the 1984 columns!
Neither of us were wrong then ... hmmmm ... must investigate ... turns out it's been duplicated in the 1984 column, when (as we all know) it should just be in the 1983 one.
All the structures ready for the first book so i'm now going in pasting in the reviews i'm receiving. Theres a lot to put in so that'll take me a bit of time but its great getting all these reviews.
Still waiting for some reviews for 1982-1984 so given a prompt to the people who i'm waiting for so far.
The book is well and truely alive, i did have a busy busy time with my normal day job but i'm working around that now.
Yeah sure. I'm just filling in the gaps at the moment with all the reviews i have, i have about 85% of the ones people said they will do so its just a case of chasing up other people for theirs.
Sadly just super busy at work at the moment so trying to find the time to do it, waking up this morning at 5.30am gave me a few hours !
Are the reviews to follow any "form"? Is there a word limit, or perhaps all should be split into three paragraphs or similar? Do you have some reviews I could see so mine is in a similar style?

Very strange if he is able to stab someone with his cock, probably could get work in the freak circus with that !
Can we not hijack my Speccy review book with your homosexual talk please !
your not gonna like my next review then. ;)
I was thinking a kitchen knife, but I know you'd never make a grab for my family jewels....so the joke is still funny :p
You just emailed me the next game you want to review. Cant believe you will make anything smutty about it...

I knew somebody had to review this morally questionable game....Alas Mile was more than the man for the job :p

Paul must have amended the listing or something else spooky has happened as when I've just looked at it, Time Gate's def in the 1983 column.
thanks for spotting it in case it was in the wrong column. I compiled the list and as my other half will attest, I'm not perfect ...
Apologies if it's down to HTML formatting on Firefox and the small screen of my Eee PC. But it's just above Tir Na Nog when I view the webpage.

We live and learn!
Thanks, I think! (this game's unplayable!)

Hes reserved a ton of games to review but i cant get hold of him via email.
Are you a member of Andrew Broads JSW group?
groups.yahoo.com/group/manicminerandjetsetwilly
You may be able to get hold of him on there since he's a JSW author.
Cheers
